Abstract:

A series of N5-substituted 8-deaza-5,6,7,8-tetrahydromethotrexate derivatives were synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR). The results indicated that modification of the pteridine ring of methotrexate (MTX) rendered poor activity against human DHFR.

Key words: 8-Deaza-5,6,7,8-tetrahydromethotrexate, Synthesis, Dihydrofolate reductase inhibitory activities
